85. Picasso!

Sun Sep 1, 2013, 05:33 PM

Sep 2013

I just bought an oil from Picasso!
And suddenly I'm told
This painting I've been sold
Ain't real!

Picasso!
The dealer's fled to Argentina!
Picasso!

...and so on, don't remember the rest. From a parody in Mad Magazine way way way back (where else?).
